Segmentation Fault in dmidecode, blocks launch of GNOME and KDE

[satingrr]

After booting RockPro64 from Centos-7.4.1708 with kernel from Armbian-5.67.img, and running the finish install script, GNOME was installed using the following command:

# yum -y groups install "GNOME Desktop" 

Then attempted to launch GNOME with the following command:

startx

The result is a segmentation fault in "dmidecode" blocks launch of GNOME (same with KDE).

Re-booting, running yum update, or repeating the setup process with a new SD card does not help.

Running "dmidecode" at the command line results in the same segmentation fault as seen trying to launch GNOME (or KDE).

Has anyone successfully installed and run GNOME (or KDE) using CentOS 7 on RockPro64?

Has anyone encountered the same "dmidecode" segmentation fault? Any suggested work around?

The segmentation fault output is shown below.
